Abstract

To provide a holder by which a portable electronic apparatus such as a smartphone can be stably held by a single hand.SOLUTION: A holder is constituted by fixing a fixing part of a sheet-shaped holding member to a portable electronic apparatus being a holding object or to its case. The holding member has a shape progressing along a contour of the holding object when a force is not applied thereto from the outside, and when elongating the holding member by applying the force from the outside, the portable electronic apparatus can be stably held by a single hand by making fingers or an arm pass a clearance which is formed between the holding object and itself. When the holding member is hardly elongated due to the high elasticity of a material of the holding member, apparent elasticity is lowered by arranging an expansion part at the holding member, and the holding member can be easily elongated to a longitudinal direction. That is, the expansion part has a structure in which notches extending to a width direction are alternately formed at the holding member from both sides, or the notches extending to the width direction are arranged in a zigzag shape. A plane shape of the holding member may be a V-shape, a Y-shape, a substantially-triangular shape and an X-shape in addition to a rectangular shape, that is, an I-shape.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

The present invention can be stably held with one hand with a portable electronic device such as a smartphone and a tablet type personal computer as its main holding object, and has a simple structure, easy installation, and always installed. However, the present invention relates to a portable electronic device holder that does not get in the way.

When holding the portable electronic device and using it with one hand, the holding state of the portable electronic device becomes unstable because the thumb must be released to operate the push button or the touch panel. Various holders, holders, grips, and hand straps have been proposed to stably hold in one hand while avoiding such a condition.

For example, in the holder for portable information devices of Patent Document 1, the concave portion of a hook having a substantially U-shaped or substantially L-shaped side shape is disposed opposite to the both ends of the stretchable band of the belt-like stretchable fabric. We have proposed a technique for a holder that is detachably hooked to the back of the case of a portable information device in which the hook and the hook are fixed by a connecting member.

This is good in that the finger can be held stably by holding the hand with one hand, since the finger is held down by the stretchable band. However, there is a problem that the hook or connecting member protrudes from the surface of the case of the portable information device, and it becomes an obstacle when storing it, or it is necessary to remove the entire device from the device to avoid it. The

Further, for example, the holder for portable electronic products of Patent Document 2 is made of a slide member, an arm member, a base member, and a guide member, and the slide member and the end portion of the arm member are engaged, and the other end of the slide member is The end of the slide member between the base and the base member forms a movable slide member accommodation space, so that movement is possible. When the end is slid, the slide member and the arm member form a chevron. By standing up, in order to hold stably with one hand, the structure which forms the crevice which can put a finger is proposed.

This has a problem that the number of members is large and the structure is complicated. Furthermore, since the size of the gap is freely changed within a certain range, when the finger is inserted, the finger and the like are not held down as in the stretch band of Patent Document 1, so that an extra gap is created and can not be held stably. I had a problem.

In the following description, in a code with an alphabetic suffix in a number, in the description in one drawing, the alphabetic part is omitted, and the alphabetic part is different, and a plurality of codes having the same number are simultaneously meant There is something to do. For example, when the holding member 21 is written, it means both the holding member 21a and the holding member 21b.
Moreover, what is described as a to d in the explanation of the symbols is one in which consecutive a, b, c and d are omitted.

In the drawings, a plan view of a view from the thickness direction of the holding member, a side view of a view from the width direction of the holding member, and a front view of the view from the longitudinal direction.
In the following description, both the housing of the portable electronic device or the case for housing the portable electronic device may be referred to at the same time simply as a case.

In the present invention, it is assumed that the main body consisting of parts, circuits, substrates and the like of the portable electronic device is covered by the case or is further housed in the case for the purpose of protection. When the portable electronic device holder is constituted by the combination of the body and the holding member, or the portable electronic device holder is constituted by the combination of the case and the holding member, and finally the portable electronic device is held However, there are both cases where the case is held directly.

In the first aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the portable electronic device holder has a case of the portable electronic device to be held or a case 2 for housing the same, and has elasticity in sheet form. It consists of a holding member 21 which is an independent member, and is configured by fixing a plurality of fixing portions 213 of the holding member 21 to a case of a portable electronic device or a case 2 for housing the same and connecting the two. The term "elasticity" refers to the nature of deformation that occurs when a force is applied to an object and returns to the original state when the force is removed.

In the second aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of (two in parallel) cutouts are formed on a surface material forming a case or a case of a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device holder is configured by leaving a combined shape of the rectangles (here, a rectangular shape) by drilling a hole and using it as a holding member. In this aspect, it is not necessary to connect the holding member again by fixing the housing or the case.

In the case of the second mode, the fixing portion which is a part of the holding member is considered to be integrated with the material of the housing or case from the beginning, not being fixed later to the housing or case.
In addition, since the material of the holding member is the same as that of the case or the case, the case or the case needs to be made of an elastic material.

The first aspect describes the basic structure and operation of the portable electronic device holder. FIG. 1 is a view showing the outer shape of a rectangular holding member 21a. The holding member 21a is fixed on the surface of the case 2a of the portable electronic device so as not to separate the fixing portions 213a which are both ends by appropriate means such as adhesion, adhesion, caulking not shown, and the like. The fact that the holding member is fixed to the housing or case of the portable electronic device to be held means this state.

The portable electronic device has a surface on which a display or the like is installed on the other side in the figure. Also, it is housed inside the case 2a and can not be seen in this figure.

The components other than the both ends of the holding member 21a are not fixed to the housing or the case 2a. When no external force is applied, the holding member 21a extends straight in its original length, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), and is along the surface of the case 2a to be held.

As shown in FIG. 1 (c), when an upward force is applied to the flat portion 213a, which is an unfixed portion between the fixed end portions, as indicated by an arrow in the figure, the holding member 21a Because it has elasticity, it extends in the longitudinal direction. As a result, a gap is created between the holding member 21a and the case 2a.

By appropriately selecting the length and the modulus of elasticity when no force is applied to the holding member 21a, the gap has a size that allows insertion of a finger or an arm. When the finger or arm is passed through the gap, the object to be held is firmly pressed against the object to be restored by the force of the holding member 21a returning to the original state, so that the object to be held can be stably held.

Here, when the elastic modulus of the material of the holding member itself is large (that is, when it is hard and does not extend), it deforms more in the longitudinal direction of the holding member by the same force as compared with the other portions. That is, the expansion part which is a part with a small elastic modulus is arranged. FIG. 2 is an outline view of a holding member provided with an expanding portion. As shown in FIG. 2 (a) which is a plan view, an extended portion 211b having a reduced apparent elastic modulus is formed by alternately cutting in the width direction from both sides in a part of the holding member in the longitudinal direction. Can correct the elastic modulus.

Here, the fact that the elastic modulus is small also includes the apparent elastic modulus by arranging such an extension. As described later, although there is a structure in which a cut is made to form a structure having a small elastic modulus, there are other structures than those described here, but those using the cut are collectively called a cut structure.

According to FIG. 2C, which is a side view, a state in which the expanded portion 211b of the holding member 21b is deformed can be seen.
Furthermore, in FIG. 8, as a result of the force being applied, the holding member 21b provided with the expanded portion 211b can be seen three-dimensionally as being deformed in the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction.

As shown by the arrows in FIG. 8, the fixing portions 213b at both ends of the holding member 21b fixed to the case (not shown) are applied with force in the direction shown in the figure, and a flat portion 212b at the center is shown. There is a positive hand in the figure. By the force, it can be seen that the extension portion 211b is deformed and the incision 214b is deformed in the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction by opening the mouth.

According to this structure, even if the deformation of the individual parts is small, a large number of them can be gathered, and the extension can be greatly stretched in the longitudinal direction. The structure of the incision is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, a structure in which the notches extending in the width direction are arranged in a zigzag manner may be used. That is, the apparent elastic modulus can be adjusted in a wide range by appropriately selecting the structure of the incision, the location of the incision, the number, the distribution, and the like.

3 and 4 are perspective views of a portable electronic device holder using the portable electronic device. As an example, the holding member 21a or the holding member 21b is fixed to the back side (front side in the figure) of the display 2 of the case 2 of the portable electronic device such as a smartphone, and the portable electronic device is held with one hand. ing. There is a face of the user (not shown) on the other side of the figure, and it is a situation where the screen of the display is viewed.

In FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, the third finger 73 and the fourth finger 74 pass through the gap between the expanded holding member 21 a or 21 b and the case 2 of the portable electronic device, and the second finger 72 and the fifth finger 75. Is placed outside the gap. As the tensile stress and the bending stress are generated by the deformation of the holding member 21a or the holding member 21b, the third finger 73 and the fourth finger 74 are pressed against the case 2 of the portable electronic device, and directly the portable electronic device In the case 2, the portable electronic device finally stored in the case 2 is held stably with one hand.

As can be seen from the figure, the first finger (thumb) 71 can be released and moved freely. Therefore, the touch panel or the like on the front side of the portable electronic device on the other side of the case 2 in the figure can be easily operated in a wide range.

Although FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 shows an example in which the holding member 21a or the holding member 21b is attached to the case 2, respectively, the case 2 can also be viewed as a housing of a portable electronic device, that is, in the portable electronic device You may look as the state which attached the holding member directly.

If a finger is removed from the gap between the holding member 21a or 21b and the case 2 of the portable electronic device, the holding member 21a or 21b returns to its original length by elasticity and is in a state along the surface to be held. Become.

The sheet-like holding member is not limited to the method of cutting out from the sheet-like material, but is manufactured as a member independent of the case by molding the polymer material with a mold or manufacturing with a three-dimensional printer or the like. .

In addition, although demonstrated by fixing the holding member 21 to case 2 here, it is the same even if it is a housing | casing of a portable electronic device instead of a case.

Here, the shape of the holding member has been described as a rectangle (I-shaped), but the shape is not limited thereto. As will be described later, as a specific example, a V-shape, a Y-shape, a substantially triangular shape, an X-shape, or a modification thereof may be used.

According to the present invention, the portable electronic device can be stably held with one hand, and the risk of dropping is small. Since the thumb is not used for holding, there is no restriction on movement and the range of operation is expanded. The structure is simple, and it can be easily attached to the case of the target portable electronic device or the case for containing the portable electronic device, and the thickness of one material of the holding member when it is not used even if it is installed Therefore, even when the portable electronic device is stored in a pocket or the like, the portable electronic device holder can be realized which is easy to manufacture and low in cost.

The present embodiment corresponds to that described as mode 1 in (Means for Solving the Problems). The portable electronic device holder according to the present invention is constituted of a case incorporating the body of the portable electronic device or a case accommodating the portable electronic device, and a holding member fixed thereto. That is, the housing or the case itself constitutes a part of the electronic device holder.

In the present embodiment, the holding member is in the form of a sheet regardless of the manufacturing method, and is an independent member. The shape of the holding member is rectangular (I-shaped).

FIG. 1 shows an outline view of a rectangular holding member. The holding member is a main member of the portable electronic device holder. As can be seen from FIG. 1A which is a plan view, the holding member 21a is in the form of a rectangular sheet, extends in a strip shape in the longitudinal direction (left and right in the figure), and is made of an elastic material.

As shown in FIG. 1B, which is a side view, a holding member on the back side (upper side in the figure) of the case 2a of the portable electronic device to be held, which is opposite to the front where the display etc. are installed. Fix 21a. That is, both ends of the holding member 21a are defined as two fixing portions 213a, and they are fixed by adhering them to the surface of the case 2a with an adhesive 215a, and the holding member 21a and the case 2a are connected. The fact that a plurality of locations of the holding member are fixed to the housing or the case indicates this state.

The two fixing portions 213a are bonded and fixed by an adhesive 215a at positions where they have natural lengths when no force is applied to the holding member 21a from the outside. As shown in FIG. 1B, which is a side view, the other part of the holding member 21a excluding the part fixed by the adhesive 215a is not fixed to the case 2a of the portable electronic device. In the figure, the thickness of adhesive 215a is exaggerated for ease of viewing.

As described above, the holding member 21a is connected to the case 2a to be held, whereby the holder is realized as a portable electronic device holder.

Not only the adhesive 215a, but any suitable method such as an adhesive, an adhesive tape, an adhesive sheet, a self-adhesive film may be used as long as it has a function of fixing the holding member.
When the holding member is fixed with an adhesive, there is an advantage that it can be peeled off from the housing or the case when it becomes unnecessary or when it is desired to change the position.

The dimensions of the holding member 21a vary depending on the size and use of the portable electronic device to be held, but for example, if the object to be held is a smartphone, the length is about 70 to 90 mm when using one or two fingers. The width may be about 15 to 25 mm. In the case where the arm is inserted and used, the length may be about 200 to 250 mm and the width may be about 30 to 50 mm. The thickness is about 0.5 to 2 mm, and the optimum thickness is selected in consideration of the elasticity of the material and the like.

The material of the holding member can be processed into a sheet or sheet, has a certain thickness, has required elasticity, and can be easily bent with fingers, such as thermoplastic polyurethane resin, An appropriate material such as a polyamide resin, a low density polyethylene resin, a flexible fluororesin, or a resin such as silicone rubber can be used.

As a means for forming the holding member 21a, an appropriate means may be selected from a method of cutting out from a sheet-like material, a method of forming using a mold, a method of forming using a three-dimensional printer, and the like. The material of the holding member is the same as in the second, third, and fourth embodiments described below. The same applies to the second embodiment as to the preparation means.

The operation of the holder for the portable electronic device of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the holding member 21a extends along the surface of the case 2a of the portable electronic device when no external force is applied. When it is along the surface, that is, when it is not used, its thickness is so thin that it does not interfere with storage.

As shown in FIG. 1 (c), when an upward force is applied to the flat portion 213a at the center of the holding member 21a, as shown by the arrows, as shown by the arrow, the flat portion 213a is deformed by tension. In this case, the fixed portion 213a is formed as a mountain foot. Thus, a gap is created between the holding member 21a and the surface of the case 2a of the portable electronic device or the like. The user's fingers and arms can be inserted into this gap.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a state in which the portable electronic device is held by the portable electronic device holder using the holding member 21a having a small elastic modulus. The state which hold | maintains a portable electronic device with one hand is shown. In the figure, the other side is a side with a button for performing operations and a display for viewing the display screen. Because the user's third and fourth fingers 73 and 74 inserted in the gap between the holding member 21a and the surface of the case 2 of the portable electronic device are held down by the force of the holding member 21a to recover from deformation Even when the first finger 71 is released, the portable electronic device can be stably held with one hand.

Although the case of the portable electronic device has been described, the case is the same as the case.

Although the object to be held is described as a portable electronic device covered by a case or a portable electronic device further contained in a case, the invention can be applied to other portable devices and portable objects. This point is the same for all the embodiments described hereinafter.

In order to fix the holding member, which is an independent member, to the housing or the case, it is fixed later by using adhesion, adhesion, or an eyelet, or as shown in FIG. If the structure is cut out, it can be easily manufactured by a method of integrally molding the holding member, the housing and the case by using a plastic as a material and using a mold.

The present embodiment corresponds to that described as mode 2 in (Means for Solving the Problems). A holding member is formed by forming a plurality of cut-out holes in the surface material making up the outer shape of the case of the portable electronic device or the case of the portable electronic device, and a portable electronic device holder is configured using it. It is characterized by

Specifically, by making two cut-out holes parallel to the surface material of the housing or the case, the remaining portion between the cut-out holes is formed as an elastic rectangular holding member. In that respect, a sheet-like independent holding member described in the first embodiment is prepared, and the both ends are fixed to the surface of a case of a portable electronic device or a case for containing the portable electronic device. Is totally different.

A cutout is made in the surface material of the case of the portable electronic device and the case for accommodating the portable electronic device, and there is a surface with a thickness that can be used as a holding member, and the material of the surface material has elasticity required. Is a premise. As a method of making a cutout hole, there are a method of making the case after making it and a method of making the case by injection molding of plastic, etc. However, it is sufficient to select an appropriate method.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a case for housing a portable electronic device, in which a rectangular holding member is formed by a cutout hole. The portable electronic device 5 illustrated in FIG. 10 is a smartphone or the like, and the display 50 or the like is provided on the surface on the near side in the figure. The case 2i has a box shape without an upper lid (front side in the figure), moves toward the back side (rear side in the figure) of the portable electronic device 5 and moves along the dotted line (up in the figure) Etc. is a structure of a method of fitting in the portable electronic device 5.

As shown in FIG. 10, if two cutout holes 20i arranged in parallel are opened in the bottom surface 22i of the case 2i which is made to cover the back surface of the portable electronic device 5 to be held, It can use as holding member 21i which it has.

In the holding member 21i shown in FIG. 10, the same portion as the fixing portion 213a shown in FIG. 1 does not exist substantially. However, considering a portion shown by a broken line on the bottom surface 22i of the case 2i at a position where the holding member 21i is virtually extended in the longitudinal direction, this is a portion that can be regarded as a fixed portion of the holding member 21i. The reason is that this portion is equivalent to bonding the independent holding member fixing portion on the bottom surface 22i.

The holding member 21i has elasticity and is deformed if force is applied to the other side in the figure, so that a gap can be created between the bottom side 22i and the other side in the figure, and a finger can be inserted. 5 can be held stable. That is, the same function as the holding member 21a fixed to the portable electronic device or the case shown in the first embodiment can be used as a portable electronic device holder.

Although the case 2i shown in FIG. 10 can form the holding member 21i even if the bottom plate 22i is cut out as described above, the cut hole can also be formed from the beginning using a mold.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a case in which a rectangular holding member is installed. Case 2j shown in FIG. 9 is the same type as case 2i of FIG. Also in the shape of the case 2j shown in FIG. 9, the holding member and the case can be integrally manufactured by a method of molding the part of the cutout hole 20j as a hole as in the case 2i shown in FIG.
FIG. 9 is the same as in the case where the independent holding member 21 j is fixed to the back side (the other side in the figure) of the bottom plate 22 j of the case 2 j. That is, the independent holding member described in the first embodiment can also be manufactured integrally with the case 21 using a mold if it has a shape in which the lower side of the holding member is cut out.

In FIGS. 9 and 10, although the case has been described in which the case is externally attached to the portable electronic device, as can be seen from the figure, the case is equivalent to a portion obtained by dividing the casing of the portable electronic device itself The same effect can be obtained by applying this technology to the housing of the device itself. This point is the same as in the other embodiments.

Although the case of housing a portable electronic device such as a smartphone and the method of fitting in a box shape has been described, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be applied to a notebook type or the like that encloses the whole and accommodates a portable electronic device. This point is the same as in the other embodiments in which cut holes are made in the housing or case to generate the holding member.

In this embodiment, although two cutout holes are described in parallel, cutout holes of another shape or number may be used to form a non-rectangular holding member as shown in FIG.

The other points are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the holding member 21i of this embodiment realizes the same function as the holder of the portable electronic device as the holding member 21a described in the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, in order to compensate for the case where the elastic modulus of the material of the holding member is large and it is difficult to deform, the extended portion showing a small elastic modulus as compared with the other portions is arranged in part of the holding member. It is characterized by The part of the holding member refers to the other part of the holding member except the fixed part.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the extension part 211b which makes the apparent elastic modulus smaller is arranged in a part of the holding member 21b in the longitudinal direction with a structure different from other parts.

Although the material of the holding member is the same as that of the first embodiment, a material exhibiting a larger elastic modulus than that of the first embodiment can be used in this embodiment. The method of producing the holding member 21 b is the same as that of the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

The external view of the holding member of a present Example is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2A, which is a plan view, the holding member 21b is in the form of a sheet, has a rectangular shape extending in the longitudinal direction (left and right in FIG. 2), and includes an extended portion 211b divided into two. There is.

As shown in FIG. 2B which is a side view, the fixing portions 213b which are both end portions of the holding member 21b are adhered to the back surface (upper side in the figure) of the case 2b of a portable electronic device such as a smartphone to be held. It is fixed by the agent 215b. The back side is the side opposite to the side where the display or the like is disposed.

As can be seen from FIG. 2 (a), in the extension part 211b, notches extending in the width direction alternately from both facing edges are arranged in part of the longitudinal direction of the holding member 21b except the fixed part 213b. There is a meandering structure as a result. In addition, in order to avoid complexity, the code | symbol is not attached to all the notch | incision. This is the same in the structure using the following incisions.

  In this structure, when the holding member is subjected to a tensile force, the large number of cuts cause a small bending deformation to open the mouth. Although each bending deformation is small, a large elongation deformation as a whole results in a decrease in apparent elastic modulus as compared with the elastic modulus of the material itself.

In the structure in which the extended portion of the present embodiment is formed by cutting, the location, shape, and number of the cut need not be limited to those shown here, as will be described later, as shown in FIGS. It may be various places, shapes and quantities.

For example, in FIG. 5A, the extended portions 211c are disposed at three locations in the length direction of the holding member 21c excluding the fixed portion. It is an example which has given notch 214c in each extended part 211c.
FIG. 5 (b) shows an example in which the distance between the notches 214d is increased only at the central portion.
FIG. 5 (c) is an example in which the cut 214e is not linear but curved. If the incision is curvilinear, the deformation distance is long, and therefore the deformation can be increased even with a weak tensile force. The incision is not limited to a curved line, and may be a polygonal line.

FIG. 5D is an example in which the notch 214f is inclined with respect to the width direction, and the direction of the inclination is different on the left and right with respect to the central portion. When a force in a forward direction is applied to the central flat portion 212f in the figure, the flat portion 212f moves to a position (down in the figure) offset from the central line connecting the fixed portions 213f located on the left and right. In this way, usability can be changed by changing the stress when the holding member 21 f is deformed in a direction not perpendicular to the surface of the portable electronic device or its case.

The one shown in FIG. 5 is a modification of the one shown in FIG. 2 with respect to the length, direction, bend and distribution of the cut. The deformation of the incision shown in FIG. 2 is not limited to these.

FIG. 6 is a view showing an example in which the width of the expanded portion is not constant but varies in the longitudinal direction. The outline shape of the extension portion can be selected not as a constant width but as a free shape.

Further, the structure of the extension may be different from the structure shown in the present embodiment. As an example thereof, one in which notches extending in the width direction arranged in a staggered pattern are arranged will be described. FIG. 7 is a view for explaining another example of the structure of the extension portion.

FIG. 7A shows, for comparison, the structure using the cuts for forming the expanded portion 211b already shown in FIG. FIGS. 7 (b) and 7 (c) show the cut shape of another structure described here.

That is a structure in which notches 211m or notches 211n extending in the width direction are arranged in a staggered arrangement on the holding member. These cut shapes are different from the alternately cut and serpentine shape shown in FIG. 7A, and are generally used for expanded metal and the like.

7 (b) and 7 (c) will be described in more detail. In the holding member 21m shown in FIG. 7 (b), there is a vertical row including notches 214m1 extending in the width direction (up and down in the figure) from the edge and a row including notches 214m2 only at the central portion that does not cover the edge. The slits 214m1 and the slits 214m2 have patterns which are offset in the width direction by half the length of the notch in the vertical direction in the figure. In addition, the code | symbol of the notch | incision 214m1 and the notch | incision 214m2 is not attached to all the notch | incision in order to avoid an inconvenience.

Next, the notch 214 n of the holding member 21 n shown in FIG. 7C is a pattern in which the pattern of the notch 214 m in FIG. 7B is repeatedly repeated up and down twice in the figure. In the holding member 21 n, since the number of cuts in the longitudinal direction is increased, it can be understood that the holding members 21 n are arranged in a staggered pattern. Although not shown, it may be a pattern in which the pattern of the notch 214m in FIG. 7B is repeated three times or more and arranged vertically.

In FIG. 7D, when the holding member 21n shown in FIG. 7C is elongated and deformed in the longitudinal direction, the cut is deformed into a rhombic shape, and the rhombic holes arranged in a zigzag pattern appear. It shows. The use of such a cut shape has an advantage that when the holding member 21b is stretched, there is little deformation one by one and the appearance is good.

The structure of the extended portion formed by cutting is not limited to those described with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7. The position, shape and number of the cut, and the outline shape of the holding member Alternatively, they can be used in combination in an optimal manner, in accordance with the materials used, for the user's convenience, or in terms of design. These are called cut structures.

The state where the case having the extension using the incision is actually used will be described. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a case in which a holding member having an extended portion is installed. Here, as an example, case 2k shows a box without an upper lid. The case 2 is a type that moves along the dotted line from the lower side in the figure and is used by being embedded in the portable electronic device 5.

As shown in this figure, the holder for the portable electronic device using the holding member 21k having the extended portion 211k is different from the opposite side shown in FIG. 4 except that there is the cutout hole 20k. It is the same.

The cut-out hole 20k is used to make it easier to see the holding member 21k on the other side in the figure, and the holding member 21k is fixed only at the fixing portion 213k at the end and the other parts are fixed to the case 2k. It has been cut out to show clearly that it is not necessary.

The other points are the same as those of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and the holder provided with the extended portion realizes the function as the portable electronic device holder.
The extension portion can be applied to the holding member created by cutting out as described in the second embodiment in the same manner as the independent member of the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, a method of installing an extension using a material having a smaller elastic modulus, unlike the extension using a cut-in structure, will be described in part of the holding member. FIG. 18 is a plan view of a holding member provided with a small elastic material in the expansion portion. It is a holding member in which different materials are aligned in the longitudinal direction and connected by adhesion.

The rectangular holding member 21p shown in FIG. 18A has a plurality of independent parts such as a fixed part 213p, an expanded part 211p, a flat part 212p, a second expanded part 211p, and a second fixed part 213p from the left in the figure. The respective members are fixed by adhesion with an adhesive (not shown). In the side view shown in FIG. 18B, it can be seen that the end portions of the members constituting the holding member are overlapped in the thickness direction and connected.

The two fixing portions 213p of the holding member 21p are adhesively fixed to the housing or the case 2 of the portable electronic device 5 by the adhesive 215p, and connect the holding member 21p and the case 2. The material of the extension portion 211p has a smaller elastic modulus than the fixing portion 215p and the flat portion 212p, and when the flat portion 212p in FIG. There is a gap between them, a finger can be put there, and the portable electronic device can be held stably with one hand.

Replacing a part of the holding member with a material having a different elastic modulus can, for example, make the fixing portion and the expanded portion have the same thickness as that of the holding member having the same elastic modulus as the entire length. There is an advantage that various seals can be attached to a portion where the rate is not significantly extended and deformed, or the free shape of the holding member can be selected as described in the next embodiment.

In all the embodiments so far, the planar shape of the holding member has been described as a rectangle having a constant width as shown in FIG. 1 etc., but in the present embodiment, the shape of the holding member is a combination of other rectangles. It is a feature that it is a shape. The following description will be given taking a Y-shape, a substantially triangular shape, and an X-shape as an example.

FIG. 12 is a plan view of a Y-shaped holding member. This is a shape in which three rectangles are combined, and the ends of the three rectangles overlap at the position of the flat portion 212, and the overlapping portions are integrated and merged. It looks Y-shaped as a whole.
The Y-shaped holding member shown in FIG. 12 is an independent member manufactured by cutting out a sheet-like material.

In the Y-shaped holding member 21r shown in FIG. 12A, for example, the first fixing portion is seen from the upper end A to the lower end C in the Y-shaped view. 213r, there is a first flat portion 212r. Next is the second flat portion 212r3, which merges with the first flat portion into one. Next, second fixing portions 213r3 are arranged in order. That is, the portion from the end A to the end C forms one holding member having fixing portions at both ends as a whole and flat portions at the center. This holding member is not linear but in the shape of a "k".

Looking from the other end B on the upper side to the end C on the lower side in the Y-shaped view, it likewise forms one holding member. That is, the Y-shaped holding member 21r can be regarded as an assembly of two holding members.

If the elastic modulus of the material is sufficiently small like the holding member 21r shown in FIG. 12 (a), the expanded portion is unnecessary, but the elastic modulus of the material shown in FIG. 12 (b) is not sufficiently small In the case of the member 21s, the expansion portion 211s can be disposed to correct the elastic modulus. In addition, the shape of the notch | incision which forms the extended part 211s has shown the structure similar to what was shown in FIG.7 (b), but the structure which uses another notch may be sufficient. This point is the same as in the other shapes of this embodiment.

A plurality of (here, three) ends of the holding member 21r are fixed portions 213r, 213r2 and 213r3, respectively, and an adhesive 215r, 215r3 and 215r3 shown by a broken line in the figure, respectively, a case or a portable electronic device not shown It is adhered and fixed to the case. A portable electronic device holder is configured by connecting the holding member 21r and the case. At this time, the portion other than the fixing portion 213r of the holding member 21r is not directly fixed to the portable electronic device or the case thereof.

The manufacturing method and material of the holding member 21r are the same as those described in the first embodiment.

FIG. 14A is a plan view showing a Y-shaped holding member 21s having an extended portion attached and fixed to the rear surface of the case 2s by bonding the fixing portion 213s to the back surface of the case 2s. The position and angle when attaching the holding member to the case or the case of the portable electronic device are not limited to those shown in FIG. 14 (a), but select a position and angle that the user can easily use. Can. It is the same even if it attaches to not a case of portable electronic devices but a case. Here, although it demonstrated using 21 s of holding members provided with the extended part, even if it is the holding member 21 r which is not provided with the extended part, it is the same.

The Y-shaped holding member 21r made of a combination of three rectangles shown in FIG. 12A has a widthwise central end of one end of the rectangular holding member 21a shown in FIG. Can be regarded as equivalent to a shape opened in the left and right direction by cutting it halfway in the longitudinal direction, and assuming that it is viewed from the side direction (not shown), as shown in FIG. As viewed from the side, and the holding member 21r works in the same manner as the holding member 21a shown in FIG.

That is, in FIG. 14 (a), a force is applied to the flat portion 212s located between the two fixing portions 213s, and the flat portion 212s is deformed to the near side in the figure, and between the lower side thereof and the surface of the case 2s. A gap can be created, and by putting a finger in the created gap, a portable electronic device such as a smartphone can be stably held with one hand. Although the description has been made using the holding member 21s having the extension, the same is true for the holding member 21r having no extension.

Furthermore, since it is equivalent to having two holding members connecting the end A to the end C and the end B to the end C by sharing the rectangle forming the lower part (vertical bar) of the Y shape. , You can insert and use your finger from either left or right side of the figure. That is, there is an advantage that the portable electronic device holder can be operated by using either the left or right hand.

Also, compared to the case where the holding member is rectangular and installed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the portable electronic device, as shown by the oblique broken line in FIG. It has been found that the substantial angle of the direction is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of a portable electronic device such as a smartphone and is easier to use for the user.

Regarding the holding member 21s shown in FIG. 12 (b), the first fixed portion 213s, the first expanded portion 211s, and the first fixed portion 21s can be seen from one end A to the end C of the Y-shape. The flat portion 212s and the second flat portion are fused together to form a single flat portion, a second expanded portion 211s3, and a second fixed portion 213s3, which is different in that the expanded portion is provided. Is the same as the description of the holding member 21r up to this point in the holding member 21s.

Next, the case where the shape of the holding member is a triangle will be described. FIG. 13 is a plan view of a substantially triangular holding member. The substantially triangular holding member shown in FIG. 13 is manufactured by cutting out a sheet-like material. The outer contour is triangular, but the central part is missing, so it is called substantially triangular.

As can be seen from the figure, the shape of the holding member 21 is a combination of three rectangles, to be precise speaking, deforming the rectangles, in particular curving. Two ends of three rectangles are overlapped and merged into one, and when viewed as a whole, they form a substantially triangular shape with a central portion removed. In the holding member 21v shown in FIG. 13A, the fixing portion 213v and the flat portion 212v exist in each of the three rectangles. The code is attached to only one rectangle for the sake of simplicity.

FIG. 13 (a) shows an example in which the expanded portion is not disposed in the holding member 21v, and FIG. 13 (b) shows the holding member 21w in order to compensate that the elastic modulus of the holding member 21w is not sufficiently small. An example in which the extension part 211 w is disposed is shown. The extension part 211w is a structure formed by making a cut, and the shape is the same as that shown in FIG. 7 (b).

In the holding member 21v, there are three places where the end portions of the three rectangles are combined and their ends overlap and fuse, which is the apex of a triangle. The portion at the top of the triangle is a fixing portion 213v for fixing the holding member to the case or case of the portable electronic device.

What is indicated by a broken line in the figure is an adhesive 215v disposed at a portion of the fixing portion 213v in order to attach the holding member 21v to a case not shown. The fixing portion 213v is adhered and fixed to the housing or the case of the portable electronic device by the adhesive 215v. A portable electronic device holder is established by connecting the holding member 21 and the case.

When the holding member 21v is fixed in this manner, the portion other than the fixing portion 213v is not directly fixed to the housing or the case of the portable electronic device.

The method of manufacturing the holding member 21v and the material are the same as those described in the first embodiment.

FIG. 14B is a view showing a substantially triangular holding member 21w attached to the back surface of the case 2w of the portable electronic device. It is the same even if it attaches to not a case of portable electronic devices but a case. The position and angle in the case of attaching the holding member to the portable electronic device or the case thereof are not limited to those shown in FIG. 14B, and the user can select an easy-to-use position and angle.

Looking at any one side of the substantially triangular holding member 21v shown in FIG. 13A, it is equivalent to the rectangular holding member shown in the first embodiment. That is, a force can be applied to the flat portion 212v located between the two fixing portions 213v to deform it to the front side in the figure, and a gap can be created between the lower side and the surface of the case not shown. By putting a finger in the formed space, a portable electronic device such as a smartphone can be stably held with one hand.

That is, in the first embodiment, the holding member 21v works in the same manner as the rectangular holding member 21a shown in FIG.

When the holding member has a triangular shape, the longitudinal angle of the holding member is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the portable electronic device such as a smartphone on two of the three sides as compared with the case where the holding member is rectangular. In addition, since the other side can be arranged to form a right angle with the longitudinal direction, the user can select various angles for inserting a finger, so that there is an advantage of being easy to use, such as being able to use right and left hands.

The holding member 21w shown in FIG. 13 (b) is the same as the holding member 21v except for the provision of the expanded portion.
In FIG. 14B, in order to avoid complication, only one of the three rectangles is given a reference numeral indicating a fixed part, an expanded part, and a flat part.

Next, the case where the shape of the holding member is X-shaped will be described. FIG. 15 is a plan view of an X-shaped holding member. As can be seen from the figure, the shape of the holding member 21t is a combination of four rectangles, and the ends of the rectangles are overlapped and merged into one. Viewed as a whole, it has an X shape.
The X-shaped holding member shown in FIG. 15 is manufactured by cutting out a sheet-like material.

As shown in FIG. 15A, if the elastic modulus of the material of the holding member 21t is sufficiently small, the expanded portion is unnecessary, but the elasticity of the material of the holding member 21u shown in FIG. If the rate is large and difficult to deform, the expansion portion 211 u can be disposed to correct the elastic modulus. The extension part 211u has a structure using a notch, which is similar to that shown in FIG. 7 (b). However, not only it but another cut structure may be sufficient.

In the holding member 21t shown in FIG. 15A, for example, when looking from one end A which is a part of the X shape to the end C next to the first fixed part 213t, There is a flat portion 212t. Next there is a second plateau which merges with the first plateau into one. Next, second fixing portions 213t are sequentially arranged, and as a whole, one holding member having a fixing portion at an end portion and a flat portion at a central portion is formed.

In addition to the above, in the holding member provided with the expanded portion shown in FIG. 15 (b), the expanded portion 211 u is provided on each side.

Since there are four combinations of two adjacent rectangles, the X-shaped holding member 21 u is apparently a collection of four holding members. However, each holding member is not linear but in the shape of "く".

In the holding member 21t shown in FIG. 15 (a), four rectangular non-connected ends A, B, C, D for forming an X shape are used as a housing of a portable electronic device or A fixing portion 213t is used to fix the case. What is indicated by a broken line is an adhesive 215t disposed to attach the fixing portion 213t to the case.

The fixing portion 213t is fixed to the case or the case of the portable electronic device to be held by the adhesive 215t. The same is true when fixed to the housing. The portable electronic device holder is established by connecting the holding member 21t to the housing or the case. At this time, the portion other than the fixing portion 213t of the holding member 21t is not directly fixed to the portable electronic device or the case thereof.

The portion from the end portion A to the end portion C of the holding member 21t having the X shape formed by connecting the four rectangles shown in FIG. 15A is linear with the holding member 21a shown in the first embodiment. There is no difference but it works the same way. The same applies to the portion from the end B to the end D.

That is, a force can be applied to the flat portion 212t located between the two fixing portions 213t to deform it in the front direction of the figure, and a gap can be created between the lower side and the surface of the case not shown. By putting a finger in the formed space, a portable electronic device such as a smartphone can be stably held with one hand.

The X-shaped holding member 21t can be used by inserting a finger from either the left or right side of the drawing. That is, there is an advantage that the portable electronic device holder can be operated by using either the left or right hand.

The method of manufacturing the holding member 21t and the material are the same as those described in the first embodiment.
The holding member 21u shown in FIG. 15 (b) is the same as the holding member 21t except for the provision of the expanded portion.

Next, a V-shaped holding member (not shown) will be described. The V shape is a combination of two rectangles, and is a shape in which lower ends of two rectangles inclined in opposite directions are overlapped and merged into one. This is the same shape as the position where the Y-shaped three rectangular ends gather and merge into one moves downward, and the vertical bar at the center is completely gone. More simply stated, the lower ends of both of the two rectangular holding members are connected.

Fix the fixtures to the case or the case of the portable electronic device by connecting the two V-shaped rectangles with the upper two points and the two lower points at the lower part as the fixed part and connecting them together. Configure.

That is, a force can be applied to a flat portion located between two fixing portions of one holding member forming an oblique side to deform it, and a gap can be created between the lower side thereof and the surface of the case, A portable electronic device such as a smartphone can be stably held with one hand by putting a finger in the formed gap. Although this is not illustrated, it can be easily analogized from the Y-shape.

The method and materials for manufacturing the V-shaped holding member are the same as those described in the first embodiment.

Furthermore, it can be used as the shape of the holding member other than the V-shape, the Y-shape, the substantially triangular shape, and the X-shape described above. In these letter shapes, the rectangles of the sides constituting the letter shape are the same as those deformed by changes in bending, length and width. In these cases, the plurality of fixing portions may be fixed to the housing or the case, and the finger may be inserted in the gap between the fixing portions.

Up to this point, the description has been given of the independent holding members, but next, the case of the non-rectangular holding members formed by the cutout holes will be described. As an example, the case where the shape of the holding member is a Y-shape, a substantially triangular shape, and an X-shape will be described.

FIG. 16 is a plan view of a holding member manufactured by cutting out unnecessary portions from the case 2. 16 (a) is Y-shaped, FIG. 16 (b) is substantially triangular, and FIG. 16 (c) is X-shaped. Each of the holding members 21 is a bottom 22y of case 2y and a bottom 22z of case 2z, and case 2x. Shows a state formed on the bottom surface 22x of the. What is indicated by a broken line in FIG. 16 is a virtual fixing portion 213. As this has already been described in the second embodiment, it will not be repeated.

In FIG. 16A, the Y-shaped holding member 20y is formed by cutting out a portion of a plurality of (here, three) V-shaped cutout holes 20y arranged along the Y-shape. Is shown. FIG. 16B shows that a substantially triangular holding member 21z is formed by cutting out three cutout holes 20z and a cutout hole 20z at a central portion along the substantially triangular shape.

FIG. 16 (c) shows that the X-shaped holding member 21x is formed by cutting out four cutout holes 20x along the periphery of the X-shape. In three figures, the background is sanded in order to make it distinguishable from others about the part cut out from the surface of case 2 in order to make it distinguishable from others.

In each of FIGS. 16A and 16B, a force is applied to the flat portion 212 of the holding member 21 to deform it so that a clearance is formed between the bottom surface 22 of the case 2 and the unshown casing existing below the case 2. If the user opens it and puts a finger under it, the case 2 (that is, the portable electronic device not shown) can be stably held with one hand. That is, it functions as a portable electronic device holder in the same manner as the case where the holding member which is an independent member shown in the first embodiment etc. is fixed to the portable electronic device or the case.

Although the case where the shape of the holding member is a Y-shape, a substantially triangular shape, and an X-shape has been described, as in the case of an independent holding member, a V-shape or another shape other than the described shapes is used. It is good if it is. In these letter shapes, each side constituting the letter shape is the same as one that is deformed by bending, change in length and width.

Up to this point, the description has been made of the holding member without the extension or the holding member with the extension by the cut structure. Next, the non-rectangular holding member with the extension of a different material The case will be described. What is shown in FIG. 18C is a holding member which is a Y-shaped combination of three rectangles and includes an expanded portion. The extension portion is not a structure in which a part of the holding member is cut out, but is a structure in which a part of the holding member is replaced with a material having a smaller elasticity as compared with the others. Although it is the same as the description of the rectangular holding member 21p shown in FIG. 18A performed in the fourth embodiment, the following description is repeated.

FIG. 18 shows holding members in which materials having different elastic moduli are arranged in the longitudinal direction of a rectangular shape and connected by adhesion. That is, FIG. 18 substitutes the cut | notch structure already demonstrated in Example 3 to the material with a small elasticity modulus.

The Y-shaped holding member 21q shown in plan view in FIG. 18C is referred to as a fixed portion 213q, an expanded portion 211q, a flat portion 212q, a second expanded portion 211q, and a second fixed portion 213q from the left side in the figure. The respective members are constituted by independent members, and between them are connected by adhesion with an adhesive (not shown). FIG. 18 (d) is a side view of the holding member 21 q, and it can be seen that the end portions of the members constituting the holding member are overlapped and connected in the thickness direction.

The fixing portion 213q of the holding member 21q is fixed by being adhered to the housing or the case of the portable electronic device by the adhesive 215q, and the holding member 21q and the housing or the case are connected. The material of the expanded portion 211q has a smaller elastic modulus than the fixed portion 215q and the flat portion 212q, and when the flat portion 212q in FIG. There is a gap between them, a finger can be put there, and the portable electronic device can be held stably with one hand.

The above is the description about the holding member which is Y-shaped and includes the expanded portion, but the structure is similarly cut in the V-shape, Y-shape, substantially triangular shape, and X-shape not shown. The extension can be replaced by an extension made of a material with a low modulus of elasticity.

Furthermore, with respect to the holding member having an extended portion using a material with a small elastic modulus, which is a shape other than a rectangle, a plurality of locations can be fixed to the case of the portable electronic device or the case thereof Any shape can be used as a holding member of the portable electronic device holder as long as it has ease of operation.
This is the end of the description of the holding member provided with the expanded portion using a material having a small elastic modulus.

Although the rectangular shape that is the origin of development into each character shape, that is, a linear shape extending in a band shape has been described, it may be a curved shape or one whose outline has changed in the width direction. The example is the substantially triangular shape already demonstrated. The substantially triangular shaped holding member is not a rectilinear rectangle but a combination of three curvilinearly curved rectangles. Another example is to change the rectangular contour shape into a free shape, such as, for example, a bulged shape or a slender shape as shown in FIG.

The shape of the holding member is different from that of the holder of the portable electronic device, as shown in Patent Document 1 in the column of (Background Art), in which the entire length is a tape-like elastic material and the fixing device is installed at the end. In addition to the rectangular shape, it is possible to select a free shape such as V-shape, Y-shape, substantially triangular shape, X-shape, etc., and it can be composed of material thickness, so it is very thin. Is characterized by being unobtrusive and having a simple structure.

As described above, the shape of the holding member can be formed into various free shapes by combining rectangles or deformed rectangles, as long as the shapes do not contradict the structure and function described above. Furthermore, it may be a free shape instead of a specific shape.

The shape of the tip of the incision shown in the previous embodiments was all linear, but in that case, when force is applied to the holding member to deform, stress concentrates on the tip of the incision and the material breaks. I had the problem of becoming easier. This embodiment is to cope with the problem. That is, in order to avoid stress concentration at the tip of the cut, the shape of the tip of the cut is made into a small circle from the line to cope with this problem.

FIG. 17 is an enlarged view of the cut end. FIG. 17 (a) shows an enlarged view of the tip of a part of the incision shown in FIG. 7 (a) and FIG. 7 (b), and FIG. 17 (a) and FIG. 17 (b) Corresponds to FIG. 7 (b). FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B show a method of making the tip portion 216x of the linear cut into a substantially circular shape.

FIG. 17 (c) corresponds to FIG. 7 (a), and FIG. 17 (d) corresponds to FIG. 7 (b). 17 (c) and 17 (d) show a method of increasing the width rather than the incision being linear. On the plan view, a method is shown in which the end portions of the notches cut left and right in the figure are connected in a substantially semicircular shape at the notching tip portion 216y.

Either method can be applied in all cases because stress concentration at the tip when forming the extension by cutting can be avoided. In the figure, the diameter of the circle is drawn greatly exaggerated. Also, in order to avoid complication, all cuts, as well as the ends of the cuts are not labeled.

This embodiment features the use of a self-adhesive film to secure the holding member to the portable electronic device or its case. FIG. 19 is a view showing a state of attachment using a self-adhesive film. Although the rectangular holding member 21b having the expanded portion shown in FIG. 2 is used for the description, the invention is not limited thereto, and the invention can be applied to all holding members which are independent members.

As shown in FIG. 19A, which is a plan view, the self-adhesive film 8 is oversized relative to the holding member 21b. The holding member 21b is positioned on the non-adhesive surface of the self-adhesive film 8 (the front side in FIG. 19A, the upper side in FIGS. 19B and 19C), and the fixing portion 213b is self-adhesive by the adhesive 215b. It is adhered to the adhesive film 8. The portion other than the fixing portion 213 b of the holding member 21 b is not adhered to the self-adhesive film 8.

When the protective film of the self-adhesive film 8 is removed from the adhesive surface (the other side in FIG. 19 (a) and the lower side in FIG. 19 (b) and (c)), the casing of the portable electronic device or its cover is smooth It adheres easily to the surface, and the holding member 21b can be fixed. The self-adhesive film 8 that has been stuck can be peeled off and stuck again after being applied many times, move the holding member 21b to another position, or transfer and fix it to another device or its cover. Can.

Self-adhesive films are easy to peel off when flipping from the end, but they are suitable for fixing the holding member to portable electronic devices because they can not be easily peeled off when pulled vertically in the pasting surface. .

It can be used as a portable electronic device holder that can stably hold a portable electronic device such as a smartphone or a tablet personal computer with one hand. Further, the present invention can be widely used not only as a holder for general electronic devices or other cases, but also as a handle for lifting and holding various devices and instruments.
